Uniquely Crafted Porcelain Lamps

ELECTRICAL – the lamps have been tested in Japan & approved for
normal use.They can be used in
North America & Japan.Electrical components for some European countries & Australia are
also available on request.

Lamps can be shipped without electrical components (socket, cord, switch
& plug), in which case the buyer would need to install his or her local
electrical components.A discount
of US$25.00 will be applied to lamps shipped without electrical components.

Bulbs – if using incandescent bulbs, a maximum of 60W is recommended. New types of florescent bulbs save energy & throw off less heat, & offer various colors. The so-called daylight type give a clean white light, while the traditional color type gives a warmer, redder light. You can choose a bulb that suits your environment & taste.

CARE – these porcelain lamps should always
be handled carefully.Porcelain is
an extremely hard material, but - like fine crystal - when it is thin it is vulnerable
to impact shock.

Please:

*always
use two hands to pick up the lamps

*keep the
lamps out of the reach of boisterous children or pets

*never
strike the lamps with a hard object

If the
lamps should break:HANDLE
CAREFULLY! – porcelain shards can be extremely sharp!

CLEANING – the porcelain part of a
lamp can be spot-cleaned with soap & water or with a weak bleach solution.

For something like a scuff mark (on an unglazed surface) that resists
spot-cleaning, a fine sandpaper can be used to remove the spot.

For a more thorough cleaning, the porcelain part of a one-piece lamp can be
removed from the wooden base by unscrewing the screw-clamps, lifting the
porcelain from the base & carefully washing the part.Please handle the lamp with care!Reverse the procedure to replace the
porcelain part – do not tighten the screws excessively.

Tatami – it is not advisable to leave a
lamp in one place on new tatami.Similar to exposing tatami to direct sunlight, the tatami color will
change in the area under the lamp that is exposed to the light.
